Flies on a plate

Once upon a time, there was a man named John who lived in the suburbs. He was also a scientist. One day, when he was experimenting with a new formula that he made, he accidentally spilled some on his arm and got severe burns. Of course, he went straight to the hospital and stayed there for about a month or two. After his arm fully healed, he noticed a strange, green spot growing on his skin where his skin was burnt. In two weeks the green spot completely covered his whole body and his hands and head were about to take a frog-like form. Time passed by, and the mutation got worse until one point John turned into a frog man. Now, ˝frog man˝, understandably, didn’t like his new look so much. He started to stay at home more, and stopped communicating with people completely. One day, he decided to move into a little cottage in the woods so no one would see him. Two months later, he finally moved into the little, dark brown cottage. Some time passed and he noticed that he started to enjoy his now, peaceful life. Waking up in the morning and hearing the birds chirp. The fresh, forest air going into his lungs. No one there to judge him or annoy him. And also, a lot of flies and bugs he could eat! One day while he was in the forest foraging for mushrooms for his soup, he stumbled upon a little lake full of lily pads and frogs. Well, by stumbled I mean that he fell face first into the lake. Even though he was soaking wet, basically swimming in the lily pads, at that moment he knew that he found his true peace in life.
